Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus

What an adorable story. This middle grade mystery is fast paced and character driven.

Aven has to move from the town in Kansas where she has spent her whole life (that she can remember) because her parents got a new job. Because she starts at a new school, she has to deal with re-introducing everyone to her disability (no arms). She is tough and resilient. She befriends a boy with Tourette's and an overweight boy. Together, they learn about the hard parts and good parts of friendship and get a little brave. And, they solve a mystery...but not the one they thought they were solving.

Characters: mostly children with disabilities but also adults pay supporting roles
POV character: young, female, adopted, no arms
Topics: disability, bullying, belonging, adoption (but the adopted child is not actively seeking birth parents)
Tone: curious, bold, lighthearted
